I build web forms from time to time and it's a major pain in the neck. The forms are used for things like registering newsletter readers, seminar registration sign ups, setting up a consultation, etc. Wufoo is a web-based application that makes creating forms super easy. It's free to use for a couple of forms and the prices are reasonable as you start using it for more projects. Wufoo also generates reports on the data collected in your forms. I'm working on a new client satisfaction survey form I intend to use to make it easier to get feedback on what clients like and dislike about their experience using our firm.
The New York Times Sunday opinion section had an interesting piece comparing the offering of free wi-fi at retail establishments to the days when air conditioning was first offered by movie theaters. Here in the South, movie theaters were for a long time the only places in most towns that had air conditioning. While it was extremely expensive for them to purchase air conditioning equipment at the time, it was good business. The article criticizes Starbucks for making their wi-fi service an extra expense.
I put airports in that same category. I find it extremely annoying that some cities like Dallas and Las Vegas manage to offer the service for free and others (including my own Memphis International Airport) charge an arm and a leg. The ones that make it free are sending the message that their city is pro-business.
And speaking of free wi-fi, are your law offices wireless hotspots that your clients can use when they need to? Ask your IT professional about helping with this if you don't have it. Odds are you have high speed Internet access in your office so adding this capability in your office would probably cost you less than $100.
Fastap has developed a new approach to phone keypads that could make phones much more useful for typing. It's technology uses raised and lowered keys to allow up to three times as many keys in the same area as a standard numeric keypad. One of the first phones to feature the technology is the LG AX490 which is being offered for Alltel phone subscribers.
Sandisk demonstrated a new pocket-sized gadget to promote USBTV, a new industry-wide initiative to help cover the 'last ten feet' of content portability. Downloading videos has been promoted to consumers, but most people still prefer to watch on television. There are wireless sharing products coming, but many will prefer the Sandisk approach of downloading onto a flash drive and then plugging the drive into the television itself. One advantage will be the simplicity of this solution since no configuring of a wireless network will be necessary. According to Sandisk, the devices will be able to playback content on virtually any television without the need to for any changes to the television set. LG, Mitsubishi and Pioneer are already incorportating USBTV ports on their sets.
